    Hiking

    The only never-destroyed hilltop castle on the Middle Rhine, dating from the twelfth century.

    It is worth taking a guided tour. To our knowledge, also possible with a dog (at least it used to be, we had a German Shepherd with us back then).
    We have been to the castle many times, it was always an experience.

    Hiking

    The Marksburg is a hill castle from the 12th century [1] above the Rhineland-Palatinate town of Braubach am Rhein, from which it got its original name Burg Brubach. It stands on a slate cone at a height of 160 meters and is the only medieval hilltop castle on the Middle Rhine that has never been destroyed. The plastered quarry stone building was built to protect and administer Braubach and initially also served as a customs castle. Wikipedia
